SPITTOON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 669,984, dated March 19, 1901.

Application filed February 6, 1900. Serial No. 4,280l. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t ma/y concern/f Be it known that I, JOSEF FEDERMANN, merchant, of Kattowilz, in the Province of Silesia, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spittoons, of which the following is a full and clear description.

The object ofthe present invention is a spittoou provided in its interior with a pump and a divided tank. In the larger part of the tank there is received the liquid mixed with spitlle, while there is in the smaller part a disin-i fecting liquid. ,From the smaller part the pump is sucking the disinfecting liquid and throws it against the wall of the Lipper funnel.

The accompanying drawings representthe spittoon in Figure l in a cross-section, and in Fig. 2 a part of the spittoon in a plan view.

The funnel a, which receives the spittle, is shut at its bottom end by a movable plate b. At the outside of the spittoon there is an arm provided with a foot-plate, and as soon as one treads on the latter the arm `c of the plate b is turned. The latter swings downward and is cleaned in the liquid which is in the larger compartment d of the tank e. The smaller division f of the latter is filled with a disinfecting liquid into which the pipe g of a pump h is projecting. The pump is connected with the plate b in such a manner that the same also is actuated as soon as the plate b is moved downward. It then presses the disinfecting liquid through the pipe i and one or more nozzles, as K, into the funnel portion a, thus thoroughly Washing and cleaning the same.

The pump is operated on the depression of the tread-plate through an arm n, extending from the shaft o, to which the arm o is secured, connected by a link r to the plunger s of the pump, the parts being returned by a spring t.

I claimm l. mThe combination with a spittoon having a central depending funnel, of a chamber therein adapted to contain a disiufecting liquid, a pump having a pipe extending into the same, a nozzle arranged to discharge against the wall of the funnel having a pipe connection to the pump, a plate closing the end of the funnel, a shaft carrying the same, a connection between said shaft and the plunger of the pump and means for rocking the shaft, substantially as described.
